 Last Friday, students completed their Weyanoke Fun Run, earning donations for every lap completed. The indoor Glow Run earned $9090 in donnations for an outdoor learning space and other items to help make learning more meaningful for our students.
Weyanoke Fun Run Success
Our Weyanoke Fun Run was a HUGE success! Your students did such a GREAT job at the Weyanoke Fun Run! We beat our school fundraising goal of $5000 and earned $9090 from our event!
Since we beat our pledge goal, Ms. Usher will be taped to the wall at a special event. We also beat the goal of pledges from all 50 states (plus DC and five countries!), so Ms. Usher will be slimed at the same event!

Census 2020: Are you ready to be counted?
April l , 2020 is Census Dayl
The U.S. Constitution requires that each decade we take a count - or a census - of America's population. The goal is to count everyone once, only once, and in the right place.
Every household will receive an invitation to the 2020 Census before April 1st. You can respond online, by phone or by email.
Completing your census will directly benefit you! The Census numbers determine how tax funds are distributed to Virginia and Fairfax County to better serve you, your family and your neighborhood on a host of issues including:
Education Healthcare Housing Infrastructure Roads
Census data determines how many delegates Virginia can send to Congress to advocate for our community.
Responses to the census are 100% confidential. Your personal information will not be shared with immigration or law enforcement agencies. The information is only used to count the number of people living here regardless of immigration status.
IN FAIRFAX COUNTY EVERYONE COUNTS!
For more information visit:
www.fairfaxcounty.gov/topics/census
or email census2020@fairfaxcounty.gov
